Read Ezra 8.1-14. In 8.1-14: Listing of those returning with Ezra. Presented in the form of a list, this section has very artificial structure, leading many to question its authenticity. In verse 2: Of the descendants of Phineas: The list begins with priests first, followed by the descendants of David. The list of David's descendants in 1 Chr 3 carries the list three or four generations after these generations. In verse 3: Of Parosh, Zechariah: What follows are twelve distinct family groups of persons with no specified occupations. Given the figures for the number of males in each family group, a total of 1,500 men, women, and children would have been part of this group. Comments or Questions..
